What Black people have been telling us about the south FOREVER is so undeniably true: #Democracy in the south is for White people, and #Republicans will always try to erase ANY gains imposed by the federal government! We cannot claim to be a Democratic Republic until EVERYONE's vote counts! #BLM

Same issues keep getting ignored. People want safe neighborhoods, decent healthcare, and groceries that don’t cost a whole paycheck.
That is it.

There’s a whole generation of Black girls stepping into brilliance with no blueprint, no safety net, just raw talent and stubborn hope.
Imagine what they could do if the world stopped treating their potential like an afterthought? Well?

Black women still with worst mental health challenges and bad outcomes.
But we knew this.
But they still act surprised.
But it could be fixed.
But they don't want to.

I came to Minneapolis to bear witness, actively listen, to grieve and to be in community.
To demand accountability for Alex Pretti's murder.
From Massachusetts to Minnesota. We stand up for our neighbors and we’re standing together. ♥️

✝️Prison education programs is a bright spot in criminal justice.
When people are given tools to rebuild their lives, they do. Redemption should be expected. A system without hope isn’t justice.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.
No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.
What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

Fresh water is the new oil apparently. Coming from Bill Gates ,this is disgusting. How can they say that ? What gives them the right to monopolize water and our food and then make money from that ? This is greed in its ugly glory! It's dystopian and immoral. Share widely.
